ABOUT US

Leon Gallery International is based in the heart of Silicon Valley in the San Francisco Bay area. We specialize in the marketing and promotion of old master, modern and contemporary art from the Philippines. Many of our offerings are found in the four times a year live auction, several online auctions, and four specialist sales held annually in our Manila galleries. Our job is to facilitate and make easier the research, purchasing and delivery of the artwork for you, with full confidence.

You can access all our auctions and specialist sales by clicking on our Leon-Gallery.com button, leading you to the full offerings in our current auctions, sales, and promotional and scholarly research activities.

In addition, Leon gallery has an inventory of great old master, modern and contemporary art which can be shown to you by appointment. We carry works by Cesar Beunaventura, Alfonso Ossorio, Fernando Amorsolo, Jigger Cruz, Luis Lorenzana, Jay Yao, BJ Esber and others.

Also, Leon Gallery is interested in purchasing, or arranging to consign your artwork from the Philippines, for sales at Leon Gallery in Manila, either by auction or by private treaty sale. Over the past century, tens of thousands of US military personnel, state department officials, businessmen, and religious missionaries have brought back to stateside, especially to the San Francisco bay area and to California, tens of thousands of excellent artwork from the Philippines. We want you to help us rediscover these lost treasures, and help you find the hidden treasures which can yield you gold at the Leon Gallery auctions in Manila.

Just recently there are examples of paintings by artists such as Bencab, Anita Magsaysay-Ho and others, that have been discovered in the USA and sold at Leon Gallery for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Perhaps you have a treasure sitting in your parents’ attic. One painting by the Filipino national artist Bencab was bought at a Catholic thrift shop for $5, and was auction off at Leon Gallery for over $100,000, a windfall for the discoverer.

In addition, we market the works of video art master legend Nam June Paik, as well as other contemporary masters to the Philippines and ASEAN countries.

Please contact us and we will be happy to assist you in any aspect of art appraisal, purchase, selling, and general advice, such as the basic “What is my art worth.”
